Summer Camp | 
WEEK 1: June 24th-June 28th
Insects and Invertebrates
Summertime at the Bartlett Arboretum offers a unique opportunity to learn all about the insect world. Whether it’s searching for Monarch Caterpillars on our Milkweed plants or learning about honey bees and how important they are to humans, this week will give campers a chance to dig, scoop, and sweep their way through our fascinating grounds.
WEEK 2: July 1st-3rd
Summer Habitat Exploration (mini-session)
Explore the diverse habitats at the Arboretum which include a wetland, pond, forest, stream and meadow. Discover the plants and animals that live in each one. This is a great introduction to our expansive 91 acres of land in a fun and creative environment!
WEEK 3: July 8th-12th
Super Science Session
This week we will be exploring all kinds of different science experiments and tests. There will be soil testing, microscope viewing, and a chance to do all kinds of messy things children always want to do without mom and dad saying, “No.”
WEEK 4: July 15th-July 19th
Plants of the World
The Bartlett Arboretum features plants from all over the world. Campers will explore all of our vegetable, tropical, herb and hillside gardens while taking time to learn about the history of Connecticut’s forests. Children will leave this week with a wealth of knowledge about the botanical world and a thirst for learning more.
WEEK 5: July 22nd-July26th
Edible Gardening
Food is what keeps us alive; and having knowledge about where your food comes from is always a good thing. We will spend this week helping to care for the garden as well as learning about the different uses for plants. Campers will help harvest vegetables and herbs from our gardens to bring home to add freshness to your dinner table.
WEEK 6: July 29th - Augist 2nd
